Bristol Palin has had a tortured history with her most recent baby-daddy, Dakota Meyer. They announced their engagement within a few months of dating, then she canceled the wedding at the last minute and weeks later, she announced her second (unplanned) pregnancy. I wouldn’t have cared that Bristol’s pregnancies were unplanned, but considering she got thousands of dollars to be an abstinence advocate, I had to laugh. Anyway, Bristol stayed in Alaska during her second pregnancy and she and Dakota were in a bitter back-and-forth about the baby. Once she gave birth, he petitioned for custody and – we all assumed – a paternity test. As it turned out, Dakota was the father and Bristol had to allow Dakota access to his kid.
I assumed that everything was still somewhat bitter and melodramatic between Dakota and Bristol, but I guess not. He’s traveled to Alaska several times and I guess their relationship has thawed a great deal. Dakota posted the above Instagram this week, and a lot of people wondered if their engagement was back on, especially since Bristol seems to be wearing a diamond engagement-looking ring in the Instagram. And guess what? News broke late yesterday that Bristol and Dakota got married.
Bristol Palin is married. The daughter of Sarah Palin wed former fiance Dakota Meyer in a surprise ceremony she revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
‘Life is full of ups and downs but in the end, you’ll end up where you’re supposed to be,’ said the newlyweds. ‘We are so happy to share with loved ones the wonderful news that we got married! Hard work and God’s grace are the foundation of our new life together, and with the love and support of our family we know we can get through anything.’
The couple had planned to wed last year over Memorial Day Weekend in Dakota’s home state of Kentucky, but the wedding was called off at the last second.
Then, in December, Bristol, 25, gave birth to the couple’s daughter Sailor Grace.
Well… congrats, I guess. My theory was always that she cheated on him and he dumped her, but he wanted to give the whole mess another try once he learned about her pregnancy. I also think all of this has some sort of financial angle, but I’m waiting to hear more. We’ll see.

Pregnancy announcement coming up in 1,2,3……..
… or Sarah Palin is being considered as Trump’s runningmate!
My first thought!
Oh pleeeeease let this be the case! Nothing can top the non-stop comedy of her first run, but mygawd these two would be like a slapstick team, tripping themselves over every nonsense word. Please happen.
Exactly. I’m waiting for announcement. This girl is so starving for affection
Yeah. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t 100 percent sure of the baby’s paternity and that’s why they broke up, but once it was confirmed they went ahead and married.
I thought I had read somewhere that she found out he had been married before having never told her, so that’s why she called off the wedding.
Anyone remember this?
Yup, I thought they had to cancel the wedding last time because he wasn’t legally divorced yet?
Yes. That’s what I’ve heard for the initial reason for calling off the wedding. He had not told her of a previous marriage (which would give anyone pause). She ran off and had revenge sex with someone and the found out she was pregnant. I hope this is a good marriage for her. I actually feel sorry for the Palin kids, in a way. Given that they were obviously raised by crazy.
I take it you guys forgot how Sarah still went to the wedding weekend and tried to have a ‘family celebration’? Not the actions of the mother of a jilted bride. The ‘he was married before’ was pretty clearly a flimsy excuse meant to cover for Bristol.
That “seemed” to be the reason the wedding was called off but then she never showed up in public for her own un-wedding party and was hiding out. Then of course she dropped the news a while later on social media that she was pregnant and ashamed of herself for being in the same place again.
So yeah guessing there was cheating involved on her part as the TRUE reason the wedding didn’t take place and Palins released the dirt about Dakota being previously married as a Red Herring and to make HIM look bad. Palins don’t take responsibility for messing up, they find a way to deflect the blame.
Dakota stayed quiet and never claimed the pregnancy as belonging to him until after she gave birth and we assume DNA tests proved that it was his and not the other guys. His name is not even on the baby’s birth certificate. Baby’s last name is Palin. Last report was he was trying to get joint custody and you know how well that goes for baby daddies in the Palin family. LOL.
Now BOOM they are married? Just in time for Mama Palin and family to join Donald Trump’s campaign of hate…
Yup-I’m guessing once the paternity test came back that he was the father, they started hooking up again.
She’s prob also preggers again.
That sure is how it seemed at the time. The whole “he was married before” thing was so weak, and the abruptness of it all indicated a much bigger issue.
I remember being sure, or at least sure that those involved were sure, the baby wasn’t his. I don’t think she’d have just dumped him if she was simply uncertain who the father was. If he didn’t know the difference or didn’t care, why would it matter? It really played out more like HE found out the kid might not be his and HE broke it off. Once he found out that the kid was actually his, he may have been willing to patch things up. Hey, I hope they’re happy, but getting/staying together for the sake of the kids doesn’t have the best track record.
It’s already been in the blogs that she admitted to cheating on him around the time she became pregnant but said the dude she cheated with used protection. Meyer demanded a paternity test anyway and it proved he is the father. Then he sued for custody and Hello! Child support. This is all about money for Meyer. There is no reason a judge would give him custody b/c Palin hasn’t done anything abusive or concerning regarding raising her son or this new baby. She may have loose morals, but courts don’t care about that unless it’s in front of the kids, which it wasn’t. He couldn’t get on the money train through custody and child support, so now he’s going to be part of the family and live the high life that route. They all disgust me.
Thanks for all of the clarifying info, fellow celebitchies!
I feel for all the Palin kids, too.
There mother is a wack – o.
Hoping Bristol and her husband can make a go of it.
Would be nice to see stability for her and her children.
On another note – please – no one thinks Sarah is going to be Trump’s VP selection, right?
It’s not that high a life and he can make his own money. The gold digger angle sounds like it came straight from Sarah as a way to smear him for going after custody. Sharing custody long distance is not only expensive but disruptive to other activities. And Alaska is a very expensive place to live even part time.
Maybe they actually did reconnect. Or maybe it’s going to be easier to get custody after a divorce and easier to put limits on how far away she can take the kid. Her older child’s father had a rough time just getting to see his kid, especially after she moved out of Alaska for a while, but she called off the wedding there also.
This is Bristol Palin and she has a pattern of trying to keep a father away from her child. She could have established paternity for the second one during the pregnancy with a blood test on her own blood, because there are fetal signatures in the mother’s blood that can be used for DNA testing. She didn’t most likely because she was partly hoping Dakota would just go away and also because she wasn’t sure who the father was. I would suspect that her mother has been pressuring her to kiss and make up this time for political reasons.
Has she put his name on the birth certificate yet?
Dakota, Bristol, Tripp, Sailor — I can’t with these names!
I’m gonna be generous and give this marriage two years.
It is always better than many Hollywood kids names . And you are very generous 😏
She is now Bristol Meyer. Their next child will be named Oscar.
Squibb….thats how i heard it.
@hplupoi
LOL, my mind went there, too.
OMG I didn’t think of that! Good one!
Ha!!!!!
Lmao^^^
Bristol, her mother, and everyone associated with that family disgust me. They act so high and mighty and are so racist, homo and xenophobic when in reality, they all are a bunch of trash. Sarah’s eldest, Track, got arrested for punching his girlfriend and she had the nerve to blame President Obama for it. I throw up in my mouth a little when folks call her Republican and American royalty.
I’m not that familiar with the Palin family, apart from Sarah, but how on Earth do you blame Obama for punching your girlfriend?
Because in Sarah’s mind, everything bad is either the fault of Obama or the liberal media.
There is a large segment of poor white uneducated bitter gun clinging idiots that want to blame their shortcomings in life on Obama.
@lockelamora, she said at a drumpf rally that her son punched his girlfriend because he is a vet with PTSD and Obama has done “nothing for vets” and is Obama’s fault.
Theres a meme about the phenomenon ‘Thanks Obama’ a whole segment of (mostly white) people will blame any and every problem in their life on Obama.
Jenna Marbles’ “Thanks Obama” parody on Youtube is my all-time favorite.
Track was in the military on deployment in Afghanistan (I believe) – the Palins made him out to be this big hero that saw a lot of combat and he came back with PTSD. According to the Palins, Obama has “forgotten about our military”. Well, turns out, Track had a desk job – never saw combat. So, yeah. More Palin dumbf*ckery.
@Luca76, @Olenna
Obama’s very own milk & cookies “Thanks, Obama” video is pretty cute. He is one cool cucumber!
Okay, Track having PTSD or not probably has nothing to do with his dv issues, as they existed before he went to Iraq. Plus I can’t stand him or any member of that family.
BUT as an OIF vet I have to correct some misperceptions:
First, there was no such thing as “just a desk job” in Iraq. Even fobbits (people who spent all of their time ‘inside the wire’ at a base such as Camp Victory) could have exposure that leads to PTSD. Plus nowhere was safe–people were bloodily cut down by mortars in the ‘safety’ of their own LSAs (life support areas).
Plus–factually–Track was actually security on a Stryker, and spent hours outside the wire. People have turned “security for PRTs ( provincial reconstruction teams) and battalion officers into desk job, when those were trips from one part of Kirkuk to another.
Anyway, Track is garbage–but the truth is precious.
wait, I thought he was only in for a year with his service being part of a plea to keep him out of jail?
They make me ill as well. I don’t like to call people trash, but I really can’t protest about this bunch of hypocritical dopes. Dumb and mean is my least favorite combination.
I say they file for divorce within eight months.
I give it a year
I give it less than eight months.
And it will be an epic, drama-filled mess (whenever it happens).
I give it two years. They need to get married again and sell the pictures to People, then, go on a “speaking tour” about being married, and then have the epic melt down divorce.
72 days, a la Kardashians.
No, he has to stay long enough for her to acquire income while married to him, so he can claim half of it when he does leave her. I give them 5 years if she has paying gigs – 10 years if she can’t get enough work or gain enough revenue for half to be sufficient for him. This is all about money.
No, the gold digger thing is certainly coming out of the Palin camp. Bristol isn’t that rich and she isn’t going to pull in the big bucks – her abstinence advocate days are over. Dakota has better prospects than she does.
If a divorce is planned within a reasonable time, more likely that will be to firmly establish custody rights. He also might just want to live full-time with his daughter, since she won’t be able to be away from mom very much for the next few years. If he can establish himself in Alaska, it will be much easier to share custody. And maybe since he liked Bristol enough to marry her before – he really is willing to give marriage a try now despite her previous drama.
I assume Bristol is preggo again, and this time she’s sure she knows who the sperm donor is.
Remember the picture of him with his gun lying on the table next to him? Can’t stand either one of them. They deserve each other. Yuk – go away!!!
You forgot to add that Dakota was changing a baby’s diapers in that photo. When some people alluded to the gun on the table in the background on his Twitter, FB or whatever…..he replied “yeah, that’s how we roll”. (it was never clarified just whose baby that was, I think it was a pre-Bristol pic)
Damage control. Her reputation, his financials. This is all I got.
I agree with you Kaiser. Some cash changed hands. Sarah, Bristol et al have to stay in the news somehow, you know. She’ll be pregnant within 6 months and then they’ll split when he realizes what a trashy trainwreck of a family he married into. SMH
We’ve got drama with our own Federal election next month, but I stopped watching the late news to click on for the update. I only know a smidgen about the Palins – mainly what I’ve read on here. Do they have money? I mean the kind of money to be making financial deals for the acquisition of a husband for their daughter, and enough to make it worth his while?
They have some money, but Dakota wants to get into politics so even the Palins’ sketchy fame and contacts will help him.
There are signs that their financials aren’t too great, but they hide it well. Sarah quit being governor because she thought she would make a lot of money on a book and talk shows and tv in general. It doesn’t seem that’s worked out so well for her, although maybe Trump Madness has given her a boost.
They might have some incentive money to offer, more likely offers of pushing his political career (he may be ambitious that way). I think he’s politically compatible with the Palins. But I’m not sure if their influence nowadays extends much past Alaska, which has a smaller population than Indianapolis (which is not a very big city even though the capital city of a small state).
Ya. I think wasn’t sure the baby was his, now it’s confirmed. They won’t last and it will get messy again.
Is it really necessary to post about every non-event concerning this pathetic, disgusting Klan?
She can’t be pregnant. Bristol does not believe in legitimate children.
Hahaha! You’re on your game, Lilacflowers.
LOL!
Lilac flowers: *dead*
Oh Snnnnnap!
BOOM! 🎤
Jeez, this family annoys me more than Donald Trump. Hope Bristol and victim #2 are happy but got the sense this union won’t last.
Dakota Meyer is now officially dumber than Levi.
Maybe not. Marriage make custody battles and rights easier. She cannot play these games in court. Marriage was the only smart thing Dakota has done so far.
Good point.
So that’s what a foundation of hard work and gods grace looks like.
That’s the hardest working chin implant in the game. Now that she’s married she’ll actually probably stop having children.
Amen.
I’m sure this marriage will last a lifetime and there will be absolutely zero drama involved with their relationship.
Almost magical, isn’t it? Sometimes you just “know.”
Yep, when you know, you know. Lol 😉
I’m in the minority but I’ve always thought Bristol was beautiful. However her hypocrisy and judgments are mindblowing.
You can be a Christian without being perfect but you shouldn’t turn your nose up at others when you’re doing the exact same things as those who live “of the world.”
Her original face or her new one? Because those teeth, the nose, and that chin were put there by a surgeon.
Yes, I know she had surgery. I thought she was attractive then too.
I agree, I thought she was pretty but is very ugly on the inside. She’s a shit-stirring hypocrite with a massive victimhood complex. That whole family is trash who give true, non-judgmental Christians a bad name with their holier-than-thou-unless-it-happens-to-me MO.
I’ve always thought she looked pretty too, even with surgery. But that’s really just about the only nice thing I have to say about her.
Really? She was paid thousands of dollars to advocate for abstinence while claiming she was practicing abstinance. I don’t beleive Christians or any person on the planet is perfect or should be expected to be perfect, but she flat out swindled the “Abstinence” programs that hired and PAID her. She accepted payment for it. I don’t get what’s so hard to understand about the hypocracy and clear fraud in that.
Oh, Bristol. I know good judgment does not run in your family, but what an ill-advised decision. Two years, max.
Unbelievable. We know this marriage is going to have a happy ending. LOL
She puts a lot of thought into planning her pregnancies and marriage being something important , not to rush into, doesn’t she? Ha. Leaves him at the alter, no contact during her pregnancy, custody hearings, and, bam, spend a few days together on a few visits he makes to see his child and they get married.
Yeah, and IIRC, he didn’t even get to see the baby for a few months. What really cracks me up is that given the custody drama, he’s gotten a taste of what the divorce will be like! And he still married her. Haha Perhaps he figured that getting married was cheaper than paying child support. Or during one of those few visits, he got her pregnant again. Either way, I’m sure this relationship will involve guns, smack downs, alcohol and the police.
Oh, but the past year didn’t really happen. It was a fate taking a break for nearly 13 months. LOL
Those two crazy kids, what will they get up to next? Barf!
@Jayna She sounds borderline.
All I see is fake teeth. Did he get fake teeth for marrying her?
That’s all I see too! His fake teeth and her chin implant.
Probably sprucing up for a reality show. You know they’re angling for attention and a paycheck from this.
I know she also has veneers but hers don’t look as ridiculous as his. They’re just waaaay to straight across and they look like dentures.
Yes, they do look like dentures….weird and embarrassing.
See, I think they look like veneers, because (in my experience) dentures look far more natural. Some of my relatives have had full dentures since they were teenagers (family has a weird genetic issue that causes bad enamel), and you honestly can’t tell. They not only make the teeth slightly imperfect, they tint them to match your hair/skin colouring and age.
I figured this is some kind of ducks in a row gambit to look more VP worthy in hopes of a Trump-Palin ticket.
I think the Palin’s are trashy nut jobs and Bristol never emotionally matured past the age she gave birth to the first one but I really think Dakota is a stand up guy when it comes to this baby. I like to pay tribute to our troops buy reading their firsthand accounts that are written when they come back from war. I think we at home only get the sugar coated versions. In his book he goes into detail about how he was not raised in a traditional family and forgive me, I don’t have the book handy to reverence, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t raised by either one of his birth parents. So good for him for fighting to break the cycle and be there for that little girl. Whatever happens between him and his inlaws I’m sure will make for entertaining future posts but the most important thing is that a little baby girl will grow up knowing how important she was to her father and much he insisted on being a part of her life. Good for him for putting the horrors of battle and the struggles with PTSD behind him and being a good example of a man for a little girl who is going to grow up around a bunch of cray cray women.
Yes, I suspect this is really about his desire to be a father to his daughter. It will be easier this way, even if they divorce (easier to get joint custody, harder for Bristol to block him).
I have actually found myself missing John McCain a little bit this election season — not that I voted for him, but on the whole he seemed like a decent man rather than a vile, racist, thundering orange loony like Trump.
And then I remember that he’s the one responsible for putting these classless idiots into the national spotlight.
Thanks for nothing, John.
Right. He’s world’s better than Trump, but I simply cannot understand how anyone could spend five minutes with Sarah Palin and not know she was…not vp material.
Well if you read Game Change (a great book btw and I’m not even into politics), he didn’t even pick or meet with her until the night before the announcement. His team picked her without fully vetting her. They wanted a “woman” to go up against Hilary.
Before this road show showed up, I would have considered McCain. He’s more pragmatic and not as looney as the other repubs. However after hearing Palin speak, McCain lost my vote.
McCain isn’t really all that classy for many reasons having nothing to do with politics, but he looks like a beloved statesman in comparison to Palin and the current crew of former and current contenders for the Republican Presidential nomination… At least he would be unlikely to start WWIII. Can’t say that about the rest of them.
I just listened to the audio of the Palin family fight that occurred a few Christmases ago.
This family has no class, intellect or education. Sarah Palin has already been quoted by major outlets trashing DM’s service history for the sin of dumping her daughter who (likely) cheated with Vegas strange? Good luck Dakota Meyer surviving next Christmas. You will probable long for re-deployment to an actual war zone.
That’s quite the death grip she has on his arm in the first pic.
It really is, now that you mention it. A body language expert might say that she’s trying to force him into being closer to her for the sake of appearances…
At the time of their engagement, in the press it was reported that he’d already been married and was either still married or in the process of getting a divorce, but hadn’t disclosed this to Bristol. I figured she broke it off with him due to the whole secret ex(?)-wife thing.
The Palins knew about his previous marriage. I think he broke the engagement because she got knocked up after cheating on him and he didn’t think that was his baby. The Palin family released that story about his previous marriage as a way to throw him under the bus and hide the fact that she was knocked up with the father of the baby unknown.
those crazy kids – love conquers all………………bless their hearts……..gotta run, my unicorn wants his breakfast.
Dakota got a taste of fame and decided that he’s all in, now that he knows this is his baby. And the Palins got themselves a real ‘war hero’ that wants the limelight. These two deserve each other.
yup.
Wonder if she will move or he will move. Smart on his part for future custody dispute if he can get her to move.
Is he a Christian? That post has pagan written all over it….”light”…..”karma”……. sounds like typical dinner conversation with my friends!
Considering the Christians stole their religion from the Catholics who stole theirs from the Pagans, they are all rebranded pagans but in denial of their own religions roots. 🤗
didn’t he have a soon-to-be ex wife (Radar dug up someone) and needed to get divorced or some other messy crap.
No, that was a Palin cover story after he dumped Bristol. He had a brief early marriage, but they knew about it.
Good. This is good for their child and for her son. I hope it works out for their sake.
God save me but… HIS TEETH… um this is gonna haunt me either way.. are they dentures?
Every single word of that IG post sums up what a perfect idiot she is. So trite…not an original thought in that ‘brain’
Have there been any updates on Todd’s recovery from his snow mobile accident? He was seriously injured but it always seemed like Sarah wasn’t revealing how bad it was.
And no big wedding ceremony? Will we soon be hearing why Bristol deprived Mama Elk Killer of a chance at a big fancy shindig?
And has Willow ever found a job? Other than the one Melissa Rivers kindly got her that she refused because she just wanted to hang out with Bristol?
There’s a April 2nd article stating he was discharged from the hospital.
I totally wondered about Todd, too. Sarah Palin loves the press too much to have not said boo about that, makes me wonder
That’s about the least happy sounding “happy” announcement ever…😒
What version of Bristol’s face are we on, here? v3.0? 3.1?? Always thought she was pretty, not sure why she keeps doing this
